B Lab names Best for Colorado, Best for the World winners

DENVER —Best for Colorado, a statewide program inviting Colorado companies to strive to be the best for Colorado’s workers, communities and the environment, announced its 2018 honorees, along with the Best for the World B Corporations.

More than 300 companies participated in the Best for Colorado program by completing a 30-minute online Challenge assessment, and took a pledge to continue their journey of impact measurement, management and improvement. Sixteen of these companies have been awarded Honoree status and are recognized for their high scores on the B Impact Assessment, based on performance by impact area in three categories, including environment, community and workers.

Best for Colorado and Best for the World are organized by B Lab, a nonprofit organization that serves a global movement of people using business as a force for good.

“Colorado is home to some of the most innovative, inspiring and impactful companies in the world,” B Lab Colorado director Kim Coupounas said in a prepared statement. “If even 1 percent of businesses in our state stepped up to do just one thing to help create good jobs and stronger communities, it would affect the future of thousands of Coloradans.”
